’■ij^OMisiiiiHo, N. C., Kept. 10.—Thla
morning Mr. liryan spoke to hundred*
of people here, opening as follows:
“In this campaign those who believe
In the free coinage of silver have
Joined together, regardless of differ
ences of opinion upon other subjects
Democrats who believe in tariff reform
and Republicans who believe in pro
tection are able to unite when both
recognize that the money question is
superior to the tariff question. A
Populist leader in this state well ex
pressed the idea when he said that
while ho believed in Populist doc*
fcrinftAL vet, be wa* willin'/ to lav moiiia
of Ihciu aside until lie could get
Others. For instance, he ssld that
while he believed In the government
ownership of railroads he did not
want the government to own the rail
road* as long as the Rothschilds
owned tiie government. It is this
willingness to lay aside minor dilTer
tnetaTn hours of danger that charac
terise* our people and gives the surest
proof thut they arc able to rise to tire
requirements of any emergency.

unreservedly indorsing the platform

the Republicans or stopped for a
moment at a half way house,the Deni
ocracy of New York declares tiie plat
form adopted at Chicago is the most
Democratic platform ever put before
the country by a Democratic conven

they have also indorsed our platform,
and likewise in Pennsylvania and
Kew Jersey. In other Kastern states

iat the Chicago platform presents to

Utter if they are going In retain a
government of, by and for tiie people.
|i three parties which have
joined in my nomination agree that
while there are other issues before
the American people aside from tiie
money question, yet tiie money ques
tion rises paramount to them all and
must be settled first. Other ques

esnnot. It has been forced upon pub

Letter From Secretary Carlisle.
Bar IIarroh, Me., Kept 16.—The
following letter on the subject of the
maintenance of the parity between
gold and silver, written by Secretary
Carlisle, was made public yesterday:
"Bar IIarroh, Me., Kept, 12.—
James I’. Helm, l.ouisvllle, Ky. My
Dear Kir: Your letter asking how
the silver dollars which contain a
quantity of bullion, commercially
worth only about fifty-three cent*
each, are maintained at a parity with
gold, notwithstanding the fact that
the government does not directly re
deem them, or the certificates Issued
upon them. In gold, le received and,
as a great many Inquiries upon the
same subject are addressed to me
dally from different parts of the
country, which it Is impracticable to
answer In detail, 1 will take advan
tage of your favor to auswer them all
at once.
"All the standard silver dollars Is
sued from the mints since the passage
of the act of 1676. now amounting to
more than 5433,000,ooO, have been
coined on public account from bullion
rsn t*/s liosml Ist# t l<a> iv/iunrii inant n ml n re
legal tender In payment of all debts,
public and private, without regard to
tne amount, except when otherwise
expressly stipulated In the contract
between the parties. They belonged
to the government when coined and
they are paid out by the government
at u parity with gold for property und
services of all kinds, and received
from the people at a parity with gold
in the payment of all public dues and
demands. The government has made
no discrimination whatever between
the coins of the two metals, gold hav
ing been paid on lta coin obligations
when gold was demanded, und silver
having been paid when ailver was de
manded.
HKSTIIKTIOXS l-KKSKKVK I'AIHTV.
"Under this policy the coinage has
been so limited by law and the policy
of the Treasury department that the
•mount coined haa not become so
great as to drive the more valuable
coin, gold, out of use, and thus de
stroy the basis of our monetary sys
tem; and so long as the two metals are
of unequal commercial value, at the
ratio established by law, this limita
tion npon the coinage is, in my opin
ion, absolutely essential to the main
tenance of their parity in effecting
exchanges. It conatitutea the princl
cal aafeguard for the protection of
our currency agamat the depreciation
which the experience of all countries
has shown would otherwise result
from the attempt to use two legal
tender coins of the same denomina
tion, but of uuequal value. If the
limitation were removed, confidence
In the ability of the government to
preserve equality in the exchangeable
value of the coins would be destroyed
and the parity would be lost long be
fore the amount of silver coinage had
become really excessive.
"With free and unlimited coinage
of 'silver gon account of private
individuals and corporations, the gov
ernment would be under no moral
obligation tomaiutain the parity,aud,
moreover, it would be unable to do so.
because tiie volume of the over valued
silver forced into the circulation bv a
legal tender provision would soon ex
pel gold from the country or put
such a premium upon it that it would
be impossible to procure und hold in
the treasury a sufficient uuiount to
provide for the redemption of silver
on presentation.
THE GOVEKNlIENT'g OBLIGATION.
“In order to maintain tliu parity
under such conditions the government
would be compelled from the begin
ning to exchuuge gold for silver dol
lars, and their paper representatives
whenever demanded; just as it now
exchanges gold for its own notes when
demauded, and as the coinage of
silver dollars would be unlimited and
therefore increasing, a point would
soon be reuclied where it would be
impossible to continue the procoss of
redemption. The iuplied obligation
of tile government to preserve the
value of the inouey, which it coins
from its own bullion and fur its own
use and which it forties its citizens to
receive in exchange for their property
and services lias been supplemented
by two statutory deelarstIons which
substantially pledge the public faith
to the maintenance of that policy

"It Is the duty of the secretary of

policy declared by Congress, and
whenever he shall be satisfied that
the silver dollar cannot be kept equal
in purchasing power with tho gold
dollar except by receiving it in ex
change for the gold dollar when such
exchange is demanded, it will be his
duty to adopt that course.
"Hut If our present policy Is ad
hered to and the coinage is kept with
in reasonable limits the mean* hereto
fore employed for tho maintenance of
thu parity will doubtless be found
sufficient in the future, und our silver
dollars and silver certificates will

thus eunbling the people to use both
metals instead of one only, us would
be the case if the parity was destroyed

IdTTi.E Roeg, Ark., Hept. Is.—The
state penitentiary board, upon the
representations of Auditor C II. Mills
and others, has ordered the dlschargss
of the wardens at West's camp, Uella
way camp, Uruy'e catnp and Wrights

preferred was addicted to strong
drink and cruel treatment of convicts
In •IijsIw I'liurim
The most flagrant act which came
under the observation of Mill* hap
pened at West’s camp last Friday.
Two colored eonviots had escaped and
when captured were severely whip
ped. Iron rings were then welded
ubout their necks and one end of a
chain fastened to the rings and the
other to their waists. They were un
able to straighten up when Mills saw
them, but were compelled to work In
that condition. Subsequently the
wardens and several of the guards be
came drunk, held a kangaroo court
and sentenced the same negroes to be
whinped again, tha sentenca being
carried out with cruel severity. My
order of Mr. Mills the rings were re
moved from the convicts’ necks.

McKinley on Tariff sad VlnsM*
Canton, Ohio, Sept IT.—In fcla ad
dress to 8,000 visitors from Somerset
county, I’a., Mr. McKinley dwelt upon
the discord in the Democratic party
and tho hunnony among the Repub
licans and then discussed the high
tariff policy at some length. Then he
continued: "The Republican party la
for sound money, every dollar worth
loo cents, every dollar as good as
gold and It is opposed alike to the
free and unlimited coinage of ailver
and the iasuance of irredeemable
paper money, to which the allied
party seems firmly committed. It
lies always kept silver at a parity
with gold. It proposes to keep silver
money in circulation and preserve,
side by side, gold, silver, paper, each
the equal to the oilier, and each the
equal of the best, uud the best never
to be inferior to the best money
known to the commercial nations of
the world. It will continue to favor
a policy that will give work to Amer
ican citizens, markets to the Amer
ican farmers und sound money to
both. ”
Mr. McKinley then quoted from
Webster and John (Juincy Adams, and
closed. "We cannot have commercial
growth and expansion without na
